The Word Who Speaks

[Verse 1] Before the stars began to shine, Before the dawn of space and time, The Word was there, the Son divine, God's truth and glory intertwined. No borrowed voice, no earthly flame, The living Word declares His Name. Through Him creation came to be, Through Him redemption sets us free. [Pre-Chorus] The Father's heart made known to man, The Son reveals God's holy plan. The perfect Prophet, Light of grace, We see God's glory in His face. [Chorus] Jesus, the Word who speaks, The Son whom heaven seeks, The Image of the God unseen, The truth of all that might have been. You show the Father, pure and bright, You lead Your people into light. Our Prophet, Savior, King above, The living Word, the Father's love. [Verse 2] Through skies and seas, creation sings, The witness of the Maker-King. Yet veiled beneath the fallen night, We need Your Word to see aright. Through Moses came the ancient sign, The law that pointed to the divine. Now Christ has come, the promised One, The greater Prophet, God's own Son. [Pre-Chorus] The shadows yield before the day, The truth of God shines clear in grace. The Father's counsel now made known, Through Christ, the Savior on the throne. [Chorus] Jesus, the Word who speaks, The Son whom heaven seeks, The Image of the God unseen, The truth of all that might have been. You show the Father, pure and bright, You lead Your people into light. Our Prophet, Savior, King above, The living Word, the Father's love. [Bridge] You speak the truth, You plead our case, You reign in righteousness and grace. Our Prophet, Priest, and King divine, Your saving offices combine. No human wisdom saves the soul, Your sovereign grace makes sinners whole. The Father's purpose stands secure, Your Word and promise shall endure. [Final Chorus] Jesus, the Word who speaks, The Son whom heaven seeks, The Image of the God unseen, The Father's glory shining clean. You show the Father, pure and bright, Our hope, our life, our truth, our light. Our Prophet, Savior, King above, The living Word, the Father's love. [Outro] The Word made flesh, our hope and peace, Your truth and grace shall never cease. Christ, the Ideal Prophet, reigns, Forevermore Your Word remains.
